I’ve never seen anyone use a grille on the rear bumper. That sure is interesting.

a few pointers: you rear tires look kinda narrow. usually it’s a good idea to max them out for this sort of challenge - it reduces wheel spin. also the rims seem quite big in proportion to the size of the wheel/too sporty. i reckon that a fatter tire (smaller diameter rim on same wheel size) would give you better off road ability. i managed to achieve 40+ off road without using hydro suspension -> saves weight. your front wheel seem even narrower; i suspect in order to improve drivability, but when you are forced to do stuff like that, it usually help to “put some spacers” and push them outwards. yours seem max inwards.
i may be a fool and be wrong about all of this; these are just my observations/small advises.
Good Luck!

I placed it there for more cooling on the exhaust system

I like your advises. They can help me a lot for my new car models 
The tires are narrow,I agree with you,but this is because that gives me better drivability(in my case). And I prefered to choose air springs,because they are better than the steel springs and leaf springs (ait springs can take more weight). In real life this is the better choice( for me) in the new pickup trucks,because they give more utility,and the best part is that you can adjust your ride height 
The biggest disadvantage of the air springs is the cost. And again thanks for the advises 
I wish you Good Luck !
Average reliability should be over 70, your’s says 69.3 @MitsubishiFan. Your other stats look good though.

So you like the nomad life style, without growing roots, being free to come and go, knowing a lot of new and different cultures, from the mountains to the big city, but still want to smoke the Camaro guy in the meantime? So what you want is the GAMA Nomad Sport!
With a great naturally aspirated flatplane V8, more then 1.800kg, only 15.1mpg (US) and boxy shape it will keep your manhood untouched just like old times, for only $29,820.00!

That ute could be deadly with light weight and Porsche rims 
That’s the idea, “if you want to be fast, add lightness”

Mine is actually Japanese
(Edit: Sorry @MitsubishiFan, I could swear that I read that yours was american… )
Mine was american, based on a Ford Ranger 2009 body (even if it looks more like a 1999), but with a V8 engine. But I agree with the aussie verdict.

Boss Motorsports has entered the FT50 into DRC9.
Powered by the Boss 432 Big Block Family (yes, the one originally developed in 1969). The 7.1L produces 420 horsepower but, for utility’s sake, makes over 450 ft-lbs of torque. Not to worry, the truck still achieves over 15 US MPG even with an engine originally developed over 40 years ago.
The chassis is an old school ladder frame with struts in the front and leaf springs in the rear. This truck is set up to handle all of your heavy lifting with ease. Inside our smaller truck body (we were originally going to submit the FT100, our full-sized truck, but it just wasn’t going to meet the rule requirements) you’ll find premium seating and entertainment as well as a full realm of driver assists.
It’s not the best looking truck, it probably will not be the fastest, but I really wanted to submit something for this round even with some personal time constraints.

I present the OMG Reklas. It is powered by a 7.6L V12 making 462HP and 497ft-lb of torque. The torque curve of this monster engine remains relatively flat throughout its RPM range, of 5600RPM, with a low of 380 ft-lb at idle while reaching it peak number at 2300 RPM. This vehicle is made to be very versatile and comfortable, utilizing an automatic gearbox mated to an electric differential which drives 17" rims mounted with 740MM medium compound road tires, it maintains very good road manners, while still managing to be a good utility vehicle.
We have designed this truck to be sporty, yet rugged. The rear bumper has been moved inwards, flush with the bed of the truck giving a smooth clean appearance and keeping our sporty philosophy alive. Built in steps on the truck bed ease access to the truck bed while allowing a much lower step than a bumper will typically provide.
The front-mounted brush guard allows the driver some peace of mind while plowing through rough trails, but should the truck become stuck the 9.5K pound electric winch is sure to pull it free. The air intake mounted to the bonnet is not just for show, it serves the serious purpose of engine air intake so that, even in deep water, the engine can still breath.
Good lighting is something every off-roader should have, and we have made sure to give just that to every Reklas owner. We had fitted the Reklas with active projection headlamps, that will turn to light your way while driving. It also includes driving lights mounted down low which are great for low-speed trailing, and for those times when maximum light is needed we have included a 10k lumen light bar mounted up high to flood the night with light.

There is chrome beneath the door but the body stripe is actually white. They are both mods in the workshop.
The white stripe is a mod by RAZ called Square Stripes.
The chrome stripe is a mod by Pyrlix called Plastic and Chrome Stripes.
